You need to give us greater background on what this research is about, it's aims and it's goals.
Protip from a PhD researcher who specialises in primary ethnographical research methodologies; you need to ensure your methodology, and your questions in your questionnaire are watertight.
For example, in all but very rare cases (closet atheists), people who identify as atheist are unlikely to visit a church. Also, nobody but Christians attend a church. Hindus go to temple, Sikhs to a gurdwara, Muslims to mosque and so on. This effectively makes many of the paths of the questionnaire redundant.
Also, this is a multi-nation forum. Not everyone is from the US, which highlights again the need for greater clarity on the aims.
